Our company truck is diesel. I have used our truck diesel to replace kerosene in my own hime brew fuel many times, and without much if any difference (other than the smell).

I dont want to argue the point with anyone, but it did work for me very well, many many times. I mix my fuel the exact same proportions of ether/castor/MEKP also, just replaced the kerosene with truck diesel.

I have been told many times it doesnt work, but, it does
